I had an odd day yesterday. I think in my last post I mentioned that I had to go get fingerprinted for a job I'm starting soon. If not then whoops. Anyways, I went yesterday to go get fingerprinted and realized that my grandma's retirement home was a mile away. My grandma has pretty severe dementia, so I was unsure if she would know who I was during this visit, but thankfully she did. She was asleep most of the time because of the medication she takes, but that was pretty expected. None of that was the odd part. I walk in and I saw that my great aunt and my uncle were there. I love my great aunt, she is very sweet. My uncle was the surprise. I'm not sure that he likes me very much because I'm "woke" but I don't really care. My great aunt asked me about grad school and when I'm moving in and such. My uncle didn't have much to say, per the usual.
He doesn't like that I am going into a "soft and gushy" profession. Social work is apparently "too woke" and it's "easy". It makes me really upset when he says that. It's not easy. His job was easy. He went to undergrad so business, and right out of undergrad he started forking for my grandpa where he got paid $200,000+ a year. He barely did anything. Oh well, I don't think he'll ever understand and I'm done trying to explain it. The weird part of this visit was that he invited me to dinner with him and my great aunt. We went to a place that serves Scandinavian food. My family pretty much all comes from Scandinavia. He didn't really acknowledge me during dinner. I wondered why he invited me. Oh well.
Today is my last day in the office. I brought in donut holes. Everyone is excited which is nice. My boss gave me a plant and a Target gift card which was nice. I don't have anything to do today, per the usual. I feel like I've done quite a bit with my blog so I'm not sure how to update it anymore.
One thing that I won't miss about the office is everyone talking about their GLP-1's. I don't really care if someone is on a GLP-1, I think it is a great tool, but they talk about it every day. They all talk about their weight and it is so awkward to hear it all. I don't know, I just wish it wasn't so often.
I think that's all I have for today. I'll check back in tomorrow :)
